May His [‘Abdu’l-Baha’s] loved ones, individually and
collectively, little by little and day by day, increasingly embody His
counsels: to be united in the Cause and firm in the Covenant; to avoid calumny
and never speak ill of others; to see no strangers but regard all as members of
one family; to set aside divergent theories and conflicting views and pursue a
single purpose and common goal; to ensure that the love of Bahá’u’lláh has so
mastered every organ, part, and limb as to leave no effect from the promptings
of the human world; to arise with heart and soul and in one accord to teach the
Cause; to march in serried lines, pressed together, each supporting the others;
to cultivate good character, perseverance, strength, and determination; to know
the value of this precious Faith, obey its teachings, walk in this road that is
drawn straight, and show this way to the people.
